- There is no adequate bibliography of Young's writings, but some are listed in the obituary by Hardy G.H. William Henry Young J. Lond. Math. Soc. 1942 17 1 218 237 =Obit. Nat. Fellows Roy. Soc., 1943, 4, 307–323.
- Joint authorship applies also to two books: The First Book of Geometry London 1905 and The Theory of Sets of Points (Cambridge, 1906). A reprint of this latter volume is planned, for which I have prepared an appendix on Mrs. Young's plans for an (abortive) second edition. The reprint will be published by the Chelsea Publishing Company.
